I am a multimedia designer, by education, and I tend to still dislike some of these methods. Often I find them to just be a distraction from getting actual work done. Does not mean I would not use some of them, but I really prefer to just get the work done.
This is probably data-parallel training with collective all-reduce (Horovod probably, as they are using MPI). Membership of the ring in Horovod is static - you can't recover from a failed worker. You would need to build a consistent hashing ring (like a DHT), so that workers could identify and agree on failing workers (heartbeats) and evict them. None of those goodies in Horovod yet.

The workaround is to have a chief-node do periodic checkpointing of the model weights and epoc/iteration, so that you can recover from the checkpoint if a worker fails.
I am honoured to be included on one of the coolest boards out there. I am not much of a true hacker but I am so happy to be able to contribute to the discussion.

If anyone can suggest better alternate hosting, I would be happy to move them to that new location. Thanks for the head's up. I guess a crew of hackers would be quick to spot the exploit..
That is a trial with N=1

Your eyesight might have stopped getting worse on its own. As is the case for most people (myopia doesn't run away to infinity after all!). Which is why corrective surgery is only indicated after your prescription has been stable for some time.
Spacetime anomalies are covered only from the observer's reference point. Doh!
That doesn't make sense.

I'd recommend getting glasses online from Zenni [0]. They just ask for the measurements of the prescription. There's nothing about expiration dates. And they're super inexpensive! Glasses are a racket.

I can't speak for the quality/durability of their frames, as I only used them to get some prescription lenses for my Valve Index so I can play in VR without wearing my glasses.

It's an absolute disaster.

The default should be to only allow the basics for a cookie. And if the user wants to opt in for sharing all their data, a specific page for that should be present.

It is more an issue for me at least that it fucks with my intelligence somehow.

Of course I do not want to share my data with anyone and at the same time don't try to fucking trick me to hit the "all cookies" button.

I am absolutely furious about it.

Not saying you are one such person, or that you are doing so intentionally, but this argument is a clever sleight of hand employed by surveillance capitalists and their apologists to deflect attention away from the real issue: that thousands of well-paid, highly intelligent engineers devote 40+ hours a week to coming up with ways to influence your behavior.

“Selling personal data” — as if your particular affinity for left handed baseball gloves were of special interest to large corporations — is a red herring. Let’s stop perpetuating it.
A 92% chance of bankruptcy (to use your example) seems like a poor idea. Its not about the outcomes of winning vs losing, the smart move is to not play. A college graduate hopefully will not be making $30k/yr for too long, and being almost completely cut off from credit for a decade is really going to sting when they do want to finance a car or other large purchase.
I think there are extra fees as a foreigner. You are not prohibited of having a bank account, insurance, using credit, etc. But most systems will prevent the CPF of being used without some sort of special approval.
I think part of the problem of this discussion are differences in the country we live in because of how people are treated in the given area.

I.e. in the environment I grew up obesity was not very common and general seen as unhealthy and not good looking. In turn many of the people which are still obese are people where just eating less and doing more sport doesn't really work and in turn telling them to just do so is problematic.

But on the other side going just to a different part of Germany some degree of obesity caused by drinking to much beer, unhealthy food and maybe to little sport is quite common in the idk. 50+ generation.

If you watch the video you can see that a layman would easily understand how it all works. It literally prints a ballot where you can verify your choices, and you drop it off.

This is pretty much the gold standard: a paper trail that can be audited every step of the process.
I would reverse the two. Hydrow is closer to peloton. They both have instructor led classes. Our content is focused around shorter, intense workouts, in the form of video games, live races, and strength programs. Neither Hydrow or Aviron cater to the avid rower.

Our team is much smaller than you think and so celebrity following isn't on the roadmap yet - but hopefully one day!

We are slightly less expensive than Peloton now, but I wouldn't say we are their substitute. They are best in class when it comes to live instructors. We want to be best in class when it comes to high intensity video games, races, and other similar content.
Yes, the resting position is important (doctors have told me).

I think another possible issue is that some people lock up their jaw without necessarily putting the teeth together. At least I do this if I don't pay attention. By "lock up" I mean that the jaw is simultaneosly pulled down by muscles and pulled up by the masseter. Then at night, the downward pulling muscles relax, and the upward pulling muscles (masseter) wins, and the actual teeth grinding occurs.
> their machines do generate a paper trail

Not the same kind of paper trail that exists when a voter fills out a paper ballot.

If I fill out a paper ballot, that ballot is independent evidence of the votes I intended to cast, because I filled it out directly, with no machine in the middle. So that paper ballot is a useful auditing mechanism for checking on machine-generated vote counts.

If I electronically cast votes on a machine, and the machine prints out a paper record of my ballot, unless I, the voter, leave some record that I inspected that piece of paper and agree that it reflects the votes I intended to cast, it's useless as an auditing mechanism. As far as I can tell, no such voter inspection record is made with electronic voting machines.
I use firmoo, and I haven't had any issues with the lenses. The only tricky thing is that you need to basically estimate the fit based on the dimensions of glasses frames that you already own.
> I'm not so sure whether this is truly a benefit of FP.

Yeah, it is not. But like pure functions (that are also not necessary something from FP, you can have pure functions in probably any language out there), it is easier to apply in FP and also more idiomatic there.

Like, you can simply generate a map or dict in most languages and have it transformed and converted in most languages out there, but once things gets complicated probably someone somewhere will say in a Pull Request "this is not the idiomatic way in OOP, you should create a data object and store this data there" and blah blah blah. FP doesn't have this kinda of baggage.
> As we develop algorithms that power Birdwatch — such as reputation and consensus systems — we aim to(!) publish that code(!) publicly in the Birdwatch Guide. The initial ranking system for Birdwatch is already available here.

I think the idea of finding truth through consensus is the flaw here. A system like this would have silenced the great revolutionary thinkers of history.
George Varghese's Network Algorithmics is a good book for backend-oriented people to learn various fundamental CS algorithms.

It presents various CS topics from the perspective of backend optimization, so it's a good book for approaching theoretical CS from a background you already probably understand.

But, ultimately, the best asset for somebody with a CS background is not so much having immediate knowledge, but knowing where to acquire knowledge as necessary. If you have a general idea that for a specific scenario, you can acquire X knowledge in Y resource as you go along, then you're already doing quite well.
>The challenge is that objective truth can be epistemologically difficult to protect without protecting lies

Which is why even lies are, and should be, protected speech, even if that's not the current trendy thought.

Ultimately what it comes down to is: protecting unpopular minority opinions. If they're not protected, how would it even be possible to evaluate the "truth" of the content.

There is no universal truth. That's why everyone's speech should be protected. Even lies.

Consider: Every civil rights achievement made in the last 100 years. If the minority opinion was squelched without a chance to be considered, what progress would have been made?

Would a "Ministry of Truth" in whatever form it might take, have even allowed statements questioning racial or gender equality?

Any system that enforces such censorship becomes a theocracy dictating dogma.

A statement as simple as "There is no god" would become blasphemous again.

If someone is close to your needs, look through their marketing and see who they consider to be the strong competitors in their own market... then research them all.

For a while I could order from the UK, but I think (at least for the shop I used) they changed this to be more restrictive like the US.

It really is annoying due to the difficulty finding a good optometrist who does more than the basics. The entire process is still a matter of closest estimate when you consider that our eyes don't work in exact "steps" along a range. On top of that, the center point of the lens varies a lot based on exactly how a set of frames sits on your particular face. I've had plenty of glasses that were headache city because the IPD was right, but the lens center didn't line up properly with my pupil (vertically, when worn).

Then don't even get me started on the whole Luxottica thing where it can be another pain in the ass to find nice looking frames at many optometrist-attached stores. There are a few others with both optometrists and glasses sales (Warby Parker, if you have one of the brick and mortars nearby, for example).

For someone like me, even the "cheap" stores usually involve an extra $150-200 per set of glasses due to my cruddy eyesight and the need for the highest index lens material. I usually end up bouncing back and forth between somewhere like Warby when I really am due for another exam and will stomach the $200 cost for $20 worth of plastic. If I break or lose my specs too soon after, I tend to just suck it up and roll the dice with one of the cheapie online vendors.
It’s rare that I find a tool that does exactly what I thought I’d have to hack together a solution for. Can’t find who’s behind it, would love to give them kudos.
Apple Watch blood sugar measurement coming in Series 7, claims report
It is actually a bit depressing.

Society looks up to people who make a lot of money through hard work, but a person who makes a lot of money with little effort is kind of seen as a lazy douche, only looked up to by people who also want to make fast effortless money (r/wallstreetbets).

But what really crushes me is people who work a lot harder than me and make a lot less money. I dated a younger girl recently who worked hard every week while also finishing her university courses. She prided herself on being a hard worker and assumes I work hard too since I make a lot of money. But the truth is I can make what she makes in a week by selling a couple option contracts while on my phone taking a dump. To me it pretty much feels like she’s a slave. All that youth being wasted chasing small amounts of money.

Of course, I would never want to give up my income stream just to feel better.
Your original comment is flagged and I can't see it so did not watch the video.

I believe my comment is relevant to the one I replied to: I do not trust Scott Adams to present his content with any integrity at all, and so sending me a video he clipped together to make a point is not what I'd consider "good evidence". He does not act in good faith, he works backwards from a conclusion. If Steven Miller made a similar video about immigration I wouldn't trust it either without an in-depth review of the sources he relied on. I do not mean for this to be some ad hominen policy, I am not saying Adams and Miller are by default wrong because of who they are, but they don't deserve anyone's trust.

If I have missed some nuance because I couldn't watch the Adams video for myself then you have my apologies for this misunderstanding.
Doctors have told me specifically to not eat chewy food, like chewing-gum, so what you say seems contradictory to me.

You scale by district. You just get more people involved in the counting per ballot location.

It's a scalable method. Yes, the reconfirmation at the regional levels are important.

Your faith in machines is questionable. I leave you with this obligatory xkcd - it's still completely valid: https://xkcd.com/2030/
I am not an expert but what I've read is that in the Dominion system, when a Ballot Marking Device is used, it generates a QR code representing the vote in addition to the human readable ballot. Next, the ballot reader machine reads the QR code, not the human readable portion.

Assuming this is true, it would be simple to modify the printing software such that the QR code vote is different from the human readable vote.

A recount, by running the paper ballots through the machine again, would come up with the same result as the first time.

The only way to catch it would be to hand-count the paper ballots and compare the results to the machine counted votes.

Really though, the QR code should be eliminated, so that the voter is able to personally verify what the machine will actually read.
I agree with your assessment.

"This study applies Benford’s law to detect anomalies in county-level vote data for the 2020 US presidential election. Most prominent distribution violations are observed with Republican vote counts in blue states, all vote counts in states won by the Democratic candidate, and Democratic vote counts in swing states. Distributions are anomalous in swing states won by the Democratic nominee and not anomalous in swing states won by the Republican nominee. The results are robust to two-digit analysis, Monte Carlo simulations of p-values, broad or narrow swing state definitions, and when compared to distributions observed in 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections." - Detecting Anomalies in the 2020 US Presidential Election Votes with Benford’s Law, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3728626
I was forced to try the referenced Bates method for several years as a child, spending about a half hour a day on it. The experience was not good and the effort would have been much better spent on academics or even sports. After several years my parents changed eye docs, and I got one who would give me real glasses. I remember how awful my mother felt as I tried on the new glasses and exclaimed how amazing it was to be able to see anything at all. Trees have individual leaves, cars have license plates and brands, stores have sales prices posted. It may be possible these exercises work for others, but not for me.

The idea is a lovely one. There is some anecdotal evidence that more time spent outside as a youth reduces the rate of myopia. I don't recall whether the funding was published in science letters or elsewhere but it was an unexpected result of a survey. I see no downside in trying this for my own children, as opposed to my experiment of underpowered glasses and eye exercises. The kids like being out there.

This is a great illustration of the tensions between theory and practice in ML / AI:

To some degree, this may be "just" aa matter of a poor training set: too few / unbalanced examples. Can't we just use a better dataset?

But this also reflects a more systemic problem with descriptive / learned behavior, rather than ontological representations: we will always have these dataset problems, to be fixed after the fact when someone points out the flaw. See also facial recognition of non-white faces.

We want intelligent systems that can learn from the world, but that's not an accurate mental model of how humans learn. Often, we learn our values and develop opinions in spite of empirical representations—I don't read the newspaper to find out what Muslim people are like, I start from my values / convictions (all men are created equal, every person deserves respect and the benefit of the doubt prima facie) and maybe update on the basis of observations of media depictions.

Yes, a computer may be able to imitate human speech after reading a lot of text...but that doesn't mean it understands the content of that text.

I live in a completely different area of the country, but around here the shelters are all very strict about drugs and alcohol. You can't bring them in, and you also can't be drunk when you arrive. That's one reason why folks here choose to not be in a shelter if they have another option.
I've seen an argument made that people fundamentally need to be able to trust that their government officials are honest (read: acting in good faith) and fundamentally competent. For a certain generation of people, Watergate eliminated any notion of the first, and the Iran-Contra affair blew away the second.

The real problem is that both of those needs are self-fulfilling: if people expect their politicians to be tacitly dishonest and incompetent, they're fine with electing openly dishonest and incompetent politicians because "at least they're open about it".

You really need a lot of it for adequate protection, and by the time you apply that much, you become an oily slippery mess leaving sunscreen on every surface you touch.

Such a future does not exist, because we're going to have to cut down on our consumption dramatically to save the Earth.

You are uninterested in hearing about the problem unless there's a solution which makes everyone happy, and since no such solution exists, you just want everyone to stop talking about.
